Hi.
I've heard MetroPCS has 4G LTE on band 2 (1900MHz PCS) in some places, like for example Florida.
Is this true?
Where else?
Hi, have a galaxy note 2 and I am on 3 uk. I was thinking of getting a 4g phone so I can take use of dc-hsdpa, and I was wondering how easy it is to enable the 4g cop on the phone? Thanks
The n4 runs on 3g/4g by default, its lte that needs to be enabled through the dialer. But lte only works in canada and some us cities, don't think any uk carrier supports lte band 4.
Ok thanks for the reply. My carrier are using DC-HSDPA and only the 4g phones have the bands to support it? Any ideas
The n4 does support 42mbps dc-hsdpa http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php
T-mobile has been announcing a variety of improvements to their LTE wireless network,:
4×2 MiMo, 15+15 and 20+20 LTE networks, 700 mhz.
Is any of this relevant to N4's running LTE? What about the N5?

I'm surprised at your answer. As far as frequency, I thought the N4 only had the hardware for LTE at 1700mhz. For 4x2Mimo I thought it depended on the antenna arrangement in the phone (as well as the tower). I don't know what factors are related to 15+15 and 20+20.
The answer I expected was no for N4 and possibly yes for N5.
The n4 definitely doesnt support 700mhz anything for lte, no existing device (officially) supports band 12, though many recent ones support band 17 (which does not help for band 12).
Weither or not it can do carrier aggregration on the same band in hardware: i doubt it can do it in software (this is just opinion until someone can test it with a terminal emulator).
Even more basic stuff like cell tower location services is broken while in LTE on the N4.
Multi band carrier aggregration definitely isnt possible as the N4 only "supports" a single band.
The S4pro and S600 (technically the MDM9x15M as they both use it) platform should only support a maximum of 2x2 MIMO as they're all only rated for LTE Cat 4 (E-UTRA - User Equipment (UE) categories - Wikipedia)
It's the S800 and newer that use the MDM9x25 and that supports LTE Cat 5, which includes 4 stream MIMO
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 yesterday, locked to Videotron. I unlocked it to use it with Bell.
The only thing I cannot understand is why does it have 3G icon instead of 4G or LTE?
The speeds are certainly LTE: 20-30 mbps.
Does the LG V20 support 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM?
Don't think so. 2 or 3 I believe.
